MICHAEL CAMPBELL Posted January 26, 2020 Report Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) SO I found that if I plant pumpkins in a way where you use cobble or any none soil block on the corners of a tilled tile you can increase yields x o x o p o x o x The pumpkin vines tend to travel north south east and west in long runs so keep them 5 to 6 blocks apart. I generaly put my tilled block three away from a water source block cover it with a chisseled cover and then put in my solid blocks around my tilled tile. hope this helps. on average im seeing a solid 4 pumpkin average per plant in this pattern often with 5 or 6 pumkins per plant. pumpkins can and do grow on the non soil blocks but when the vines grow in long runs rather than bunching up all around the main plant when flowering they tend to have more places to drop fruit.

breeze108 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) How do you harvest pumpkins and get seeds? I'm not getting any seeds back. Can you show a picture? Edited April 4, 2020 by Elizabeth Wilhoit

MICHAEL CAMPBELL Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Posted July 2, 2020 Kinda strange becuase in real life you do get both and I think this being added would be a good change. would be nice to be able to break down pumpkins for both seeds and flesh! 1
Jorlana Posted May 4, 2021 Report Posted May 4, 2021 Just coming in to add that this really works like a dream. I'd been having trouble even getting one pumpkin per plant and the last one I just tried this method and got four! 1
